I have the news on and I heard about a mom somewhere in Texas (maybe Houston) and her children suffer from seizures and it is estimated they only have 8-12 years to live. The seemed pretty young still and the baby looked to be no older than 3 and did not look like he was dying although the older son (5-9 yo) looked more medicated and with breathing tubes and a very shocked reaction to life.  The mom seemed to have the same shocked reaction but on a larger scale and her shocked reaction is mixed with communication because she is the one speaking on behalf of her family. Now don't get me wrong I do not want to discredit the fact that her son is sick and needs help because for the last month, my son had that "stomach bug" that had kid's sick and we woke up with vomit all over him out of the blue a few nights. That is what prompted me to listen to this mother's family struggle and really want to educate myself on her child's condition.  I got from the story that this is a very scary genetic disorder that American science does not have a cure for but China does has options. America does not support her decision because there are spinal stem research laws that do not translate the same in China as they do in the land of the Brave. The mother in story seems to be acting too fast and is trying to suffer on behalf of her family a little too much. It seems to be making her go mad. In life we all encounter problems, road blocks and life or death situations, but our role on the earth is to overcome them so that we can teach others. I ask myself, if I were in that situation what I would do. I mean I have a son, he is 3, what if it were him? If I were the mom, I would probably choose the same thing in a totally different way. If I were her, I would experiment with options before I choose to just let go and not try anything. Like her I would also appeal to the community and ask for help. However instead of running to a country that  I hear about most for all of the safety recall's on the items they import into our country. Lead seems to be very heavy in their products. So instead of experimenting with my son like a crash test dummy, I would try things that are more natural and may be able to help work itself out. If someone tells me that I will die before I am 30, I would live the rest of my life as a miracle because nobody knows what God is going to do. So instead of accepting death, I would like to embrace life. 
I pray that child gets better and that soon doctors will say "hey, what happened to that sickness?" "where did it do?" "dude, you've gotta see this...it's unbelievable" .
